We have been friends for 6 years, we were coworkers. I consider her a really close friend. We have traveled together and have helped eachother through some extremely rough times.
Every single time we hangout she is on her phone. She is either face-timing another friend (she has many) texting or getting a video/pictures. If we are sightseeing, she is viewing it through her phone and videos the entire experience so she can speed it up and post on her instagram story. It gets to the point I think she is going to run into / get run into by someone because she isn't paying attention to her surroundings.
What bothered me a lot: Last we met up it was even more excessive and we hadn't seen eachother in a long time. We went out to a restaurant together. Just walking into a restaurant and even that needs to be captured. She asks me to wait to eat or drink so she can get a picture of my plate. Then asks me what filter looks best? Which I hate answering. Somehow I always forget about this habit before we go out. We hangout a handful of times a year because now we live in different states. I'm left there just looking around and getting half responses from her because she is posting or texting. Then it's just silence because I'm being ignored for a phone. I was very excited to bring her to this place in my new town and she knew this. I was really sure she would like it but I was wrong. Disappointing for me but she is entitled to her opinion. She criticized it a lot (still posted about it tho...like it was great!) Then she complained to the waitstaff about something trivial. I just felt embarrassed the whole time and then felt bad for the waitress whose whole demeanor dropped when hearing her complaints, so I tipped her extra. Feeling like I don't want to go places with her anymore... I want to bring this up in a mature way, I've never really had to handle issues with a friend before.
TL;DR Friend posts everything to instagram and ignores me (and others) to constantly be on her phone.
